Mainly the fact that DeSmuME can run better on a computer when you have the 3D settings set to Softrasterizer. If it's set on OpenGL and your computer has a low processor or graphics card... then that option surely will make the Emulator run slow. To avoid it from happening on an old computer, switch it to Softrasterizer.

Researching the NDS ROMs...

sure does feel like a brand new adventure!

I'm gradually learning to use Microsoft Visual Studio!

Always focus on the present, best thing to do! Never look back into the past and never worry about anything bad of the future!

i don't like the No$GBA. it sucks. I was spend a long time to play some games, that need a automatic save on the begin... and it never works in No$GBA. I tryed DesMume, it's better, but the saving option is badand the link option doesn't exists.

Desmume, without a doubt. No$gba is simply obsolete now, and I don't know why anyone still uses it. The amount of crashing and glitching I get on HGSS with it is mindnumbing, but runs perfectly on Desmume, same with Black/White. Oh and one last thing: savestates. That is all.

Well I use No$ for playing all DS Roms, even HGSS (which i use a black screen fix action replay code). It has the correct save output for PokeSavs, Flash memory, editors, hack, etc. It all around a well equipped program and I recommend it.

HOWEVER; Desmume does one thing that No$ can't, which i find SUPER useful. Desmume can take GBA rom saves and insert them into the DS GBA slot (which is at the bottom of the DS), this allows my pokemon from Ruby to be inserted into my Diamond Rom. WAY INPORTANT if you are trying to find how to do this. Otherwise, Desmume is inefficient. It's uncomplete, but it works. Beta version isn't good, but once it's complete I can still lots of potential in it.

I guess it would depend on the situation. I like No$GBA because it can emulate GBA games faster than Visual Boy Advance on certain computers, but I've found Desmume to work really well also on my laptop. In the end it doesn't matter much, though; my ancient desktop can't run PMD - Explorers of Time using either one. :D

P.S. I downloaded version 9.6.0 yesterday and did a virus scan to make sure. McAfee didn't find anything wrong for me. Maybe you have another version?

I would say that Desmume is better because it has advanced through out the years, for example, you can go quicker by using the TAB (default) button, or you can change the TAB button to something else, also you can zoom farther to regular size, this is just my option though.

DeSmuME is only slow if you don't have the best gaming PC and don't configure it. It's about twice as fast as No$GBA for me with FPS limit ON. FPS limit OFF, I can go up to 180fps on 3D models, and up to 450 without.
